Hi, If you have space use a layer of 2lb per square foot lead sheet. Should
be available from most good industrial supply places. Then a layer of 1/2"
foam carpet underpad, then a layer of acoustic ceiling tile. Attach all this
with spray adhesive, fender washers and screws. For the last layer I used
foil faced underfelt from an auto upholstery supply place. I glued this on
and then used some screws and fender washers. My 50G is pretty quiet inside
the coach. Of course the 6 inches of foam mattress over top helps quite a
bit as well.
Thanks
